AMENDMENT

This item concerns proposed changes to the qualifications for advisory board members for two Community Redevelopment Areas (CRAs) in Jacksonville: Renew Arlington and KingSoutel Crossing. The proposed amendments would adjust residency and business location requirements for board members. Specifically, for the Renew Arlington CRA, the business owner member would need to own a business within Council District 1, and citizen members would need to live within Council District 1. For the KingSoutel Crossing CRA, citizen representatives would be allowed to live, work, or own a business within three miles of the CRA boundary. This matter is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The potential scope of work involves administrative and legal services related to amending the CRA bylaws and potentially updating related documentation. Local businesses involved in legal services, government relations, and administrative support may find opportunities as this proposal moves through the review process. Engaging early could provide insight into the final requirements and any associated administrative tasks.
